Good point -- Legalism which was enforced by Shi Huang Di indeed describes most of chIna political behavior. There is no doubt Mao saw himself as a better and superior version of Shi Huang Di armed with the Red book interpreted through the lens of legalism.
Examples of legalism in action: Shi Huang buried over 400 dissenting scholars alive. When a meteorite fell somewhere in China some body wrote the words on it that Shi Huang would die. Shi Huang immediately butchered whole towns in the vicinity of where the stone had fallen.
